All NieR Automata Crossovers, Ranked

NieR Automata is one of the most beloved action JRPGs of all time. There is a reason the main characters like 2B and 9S are still crossing over into other games many years after release. With so many different NieR Automata crossovers that have happened in other games, which is the best NieR Automata crossover and how do they all rank?

What Is the Best NieR Automata Crossover?

In terms of the overall best NieR Automata crossover, it is quite a simple answer: the crossover with FFXIV Shadowbringers. This crossover brought a 24-player Alliance Raid series of three raids for players to complete. The story was quite intriguing, adding some fascinating extra lore. It brought together new characters like 2P alongside familiar fan-favorites like 2B and 9S.

This is easily the best crossover since it contained exceptional content — some of the best Alliance Raid content in the whole MMO — and made the already masterful expansion even better.
